Domaine Charles Audoin, situated in Marsannay, Burgundy, showcases the unique terroir of this appellation. Despite gaining its village appellation in 1987, later than its neighbors, Marsannay has become Burgundy's best value for money in the Côte de Nuits. Cyril Audoin, the fifth-generation winemaker, leads the domaine covering 14 hectares. Specializing in red Marsannay, with even the Bourgogne rouge being a disguised Marsannay, the domaine offers seven red cuvées and four white. The historical focus on rosé presents both challenges and uniqueness. Notable cuvées like Clos du Roy, Les Longeroies, Charme aux Prêtres, Clos de Jeu, and Les Favières exhibit the diverse terroirs within Marsannay.
